Who has been the worst ever best batsman in the world?

I guess I didn't learn from pasag's thread. This is an interesting question. Let's keep it post WW-I.

Let's see, since about 2002, it would be Ponting (though maybe someone else in the last year or two?). Before that Tendulkar, Lara or Waugh. There was a time though in between Tendulkar and Lara coming on to the scene, and Chappell, Gavaskar, Richards all retired, who was the best batsman around that time? He could have a shot.

even when richards and gavaskar were around for some time vengsarkar was the best batsman in the world in around 87, 88

he would be a strong candidate

didnt vengsarkar have his brilliant 2yrs roundabout 86 till 88? had brilliant 100's at lords n leeds.real greentops, he gave a masterclass in how to play on seaming wickets.
Hundred against wi in ind also.
He'd get my vote for worst best.
